Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

[Haut Medoc]

I just picked up above aforementioned motor.....
Model 9822E.....
Serial # E06805
The woman said it has sat for awhile.....
She said that it had leaked some oil from sitting....
I could only assume it was a bad seal in the gearcase....
Anyway I bought it.....($30).....
Lo & behold, when I get it home & sit it on my gillplate, it does leak oil out of a small weeep hole at the bottom of the cavitation plate.....
I'm not an outboard guy, but it was way clean & definately not siezed & had good compression......
How hard is it to reseal this little beast?
Hopefully not as bad as an Alpha......
Where to gat a service manual?
Are parts available?
What is OMC, 'C'?
It looks like regular oil.....
Or is it a chunk of shiite & I wasted my money?
Any & all input appreciated........​

I like the 9.5. They run well with a little care. Most of the parts are available at Sea-Way.com in Seattle.

Parts manuals are on line at:

The oil you see may well be unburned oil from the fuel mix. [50:1 87 or 89 Octane to TCW-3 oil].

The drain under the a/v plate is to keep water from standing.

Drain the carburetor float bowl and clean it before running the motor.

You can usually find a OMC service manual on Ebay. 1968-1973 are pretty much the same - Johnson or Evinrude paint and decals are different.

The gearcase oil is high viscosity.

1968
kencook.com for a service manual
Print your own parts manual from johnson.com, click on Parts & Accessories, then Literature, then Engine Diagrams. You'll figure it out from there. They'll ask for your e-mail, you can leave it blank.
Many parts still available, many right here on iboats.
Type C is now HiVis. Lots of marine gearlubes work.
The gearcase leak is probably the shiftshaft O-ring, but you have to take it off and completely apart anyhow. Reseal the whole thing and put in a new impeller.
Heck of a price! I'll give you $31.

Describe the oil a bit and maybe we can help you figure out if it's fuel/oil mix or gearcase oil.

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

Yellow or light gold......
I think there is too much to be just mix....
2oz......or so......​

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

Yellow to milky colored and you're looking at gearcase lube for sure. Unburned fuel-oil mix would be dark black and sooty. Time for a seal kit. Fortunately, those are pretty easy LUs to work on.

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

Thanks, it was not milky, but it was enough to not be residue......
Is there a kit for this?
I assume it needs an impeller too....
Is it worth fixin'?....​

 

[iwombat]

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

It's absolutely worth fixing. Y'know when I did mine I just bought all the parts individually. Dunno if there's a proper "kit", but there's only a handful of seals.

Thank you for your input.....​

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

The Sierra seal kit #18-2683 sold here at iboats is the best deal. It has all 9 parts needed for a complete job.

The OEM list for the individual parts is over $70. if you can find them all.

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

Can I use Merc outboard gear lube, I happen to have a quart.....
Or should I just go to West Marine & git some?....​

 

[ezeke]

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

Use the Mercury lube. Down the road, you might want to try 100% Synthetic.

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

I don't have a manual yet.....
Upon initial inspection.....
Well, please don't tell me I will have to remove the upper cowling, if I do it almost looks like a complete disassembly......
The only upside ( if there is one)..is that it VERY clean.....
Is it as bad as it looks?...​

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

Is what as bad as it looks?

 

[Haut Medoc]

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

It looks as though there is a lot of diassembly involved just to get to the cowling off to get at impeller & gearcase.....
Am I wrong?.....
​

 

[iwombat]

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

To remove the lower leg?

Just the four bolts above the cavitation plate and remove the shift linkage. Takes all of 5 minutes.

 

[Haut Medoc]

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

Hmmm.....OK......
So there is no need to mess with the cowling at all?.....​

 

[iwombat]

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

Nope.

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

1. Remove the four bolts.
2. Let the LU drop. It will drop about 1"
3. Forward in the gap between the LU and the exhaust housing you'll see a shift rod and a bronze coupler. Remove one of the screws in the coupler.
4. Remove LU.

Re: Evinrude Sportwin 9.5 Questions......

iwombat has this down cold. Once you take the 4 bolts out, the unit drops enough to see the shift rod connector and remove the lower bolt. It looks like this picture:
